The 6.0 GM vans cannot actually tow 10,000 pounds. That number is based on the former DuraMax diesel option.
Gross combined weight rating of the 6.0 is 16,000 pounds.
An empty factory passenger van weighs ~6500 pounds. A fancy conversion van is probably at least 7,000 pounds.
You could run into both limited GCWR and possibly payload, depending on the actual empty weight of the van. I would not even put a deposit down on that van without weighing it first.
